Hi guys,

I refurbished my hub and rebuilt it with new raiko bush, top pin and bottom bearing. After replacement I seem to have lost most of my left hand steering lock. Is there anything in the hub that could be jamming it?

It turns fine to the right and the steering box is only
6 months old and worked perfectly until I changed the hub.

Bit confused :-/

I noticed one side was lower but didn't really take notice tbh. I'm just thinking, I ordered a new stub axle bolt and it looked about 10mm longer than the rest, could this affect it in any way?

it could catch cv but wouldnt effect lock unless it pushed cv toward axle tube ,flats on bush are for clearance

I'll try a shorter bolt tomorrow and failing that reposition the bush, what way do the flats go?
